Sam Wainwright Douglas and Paul C. Lovelace - The Holy Modal Rounders: Bound to LoseDVD With voices like a sackful of rusty hinges, ramshackle playing a broken string away from careening madness, and a repertoire filled with itchy-balled ballads like "Fucking Sailors in Chinatown," the Holy Modal Rounders came on the Greenwich Village acoustic scene of the '60s like horndogs humping the folk movement's leg.

Lovelace's affectionate doc makes with a minimum of fuss and lots of bawdy hilarity. - Jim Ridley (Village Voice) Add to Cart $40 Personal Use$40 Academic/Institutional UsePrice Explanation |
